About this listen

An Astra Militarum Audiobook

Ursula Creed, Lord Castellan of the legendary Cadian armies, returns to the remains of their home world on a mission of the utmost importance.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Follow the daughter of legendary commander Usarker Creed back to the scene of a galactic crime, and see how she deals with her father's legacy and the pressure that the name 'Creed' brings.

THE STORY

What does it mean to be Cadian after the Fall? Ursula Creed has come to terms with the loss of her home world. For decades she has built a glittering career in the furthest reaches of the Imperium, far from her legendary father’s shadow. But when unexpected orders arrive from the Avenging Son himself, Roboute Guilliman, the new Lord Castellan realises that the past may not be ready to let her go.

Dispatched to the shattered remains of Cadia in search of Ursarkar E. Creed’s final battle plans, Ursula finds the planet a hellscape full of deadly secrets. What horrors claim Cadia’s corpse as their domain? What became of those left behind? What orders did Creed leave for Cadia when all was lost? And, most troubling of all, how can she succeed where her illustrious father has already failed?

Takes a few chapters to get going but this is time well spent as it sets up a great cast of characters in a fun story that zips along nicely, with plenty of good character moments interspersed between the (often genuinely horrible) fighting through the fallen world. Definitely keeps you on your toes throughout! The narrator also does a fantastic job of keeping the ensemble dialogue distinct. Pacey and fun.

Fun, emotional, and horrifying, as it should be!

Really enjoyed the storyline and how the character has been cemented into 40k. Good linear story with decent side characters

Good characterisation of Creed.

A bit of Aliens, a bit of Dog Soldiers, a decent amount of middle-aged Imperial Guard commander taking no shit from the usual 40k tropes and facing up the horrors of a chaos-infested former imperium world. I liked the characters, loved the recon mission gone to hell narrative and particularly enjoyed the performance by Colleen Prendergast who really demonstrates that gritty 40k adventures are properly done in a collection of northern English regional dialects!

Highly entertaining 40K story.

this is the perfect novel for the ascension of Ursula Creed to what is means to have the title of Lord Castlellan.

ursula is amazing

The performances were very good.

The story is interesting enough but meanders a tad and the ending deaths rubbed me wrong and somewhat random (a waste of a perfectly good character idea of a Cadian born after the fall).

The rest is fine, but I feel as though perhaps it went on a little too long. It’s an otherwise, by the numbers military adventure with a few good bits and prices and sets up an interesting future series.

The main character surprised me with the Anti-creed vibes, but eventually grew on me. The added lore isn’t too substantial, but decent enough and will hopefully expand on the future of Cadia - it is a shame that they didn’t expand on the jacket, nor flesh out the epilogue a bit more.

Also; needless romance is irritating and should be avoided.

Otherwise grand

A decent beginning
